DigiSanté – Transforming Swiss Healthcare Through Digitalization
The Swiss healthcare system has long been hindered by fragmented data solutions, proprietary systems, and a lack of fundamental digital transformation. DigiSanté, a federal initiative launching in 2025 with a ten-year mandate and a 392 million CHF budget, aims to address these challenges by establishing a standardized and interoperable digital infrastructure.
At the heart of DigiSanté is the Swiss Health Data Space (SwissHDS), designed to facilitate seamless, secure, and fully automated data exchange across healthcare providers, insurers, research institutions, and public health authorities. Through harmonized standards, specifications, and interfaces, SwissHDS will enable more efficient primary healthcare processes while ensuring responsible secondary use of health data for research, planning, and system management.
This presentation will explore the vision, key objectives, and strategic roadmap of DigiSanté. We will discuss how the program seeks to overcome the historical silos in Swiss healthcare, implement cross-cutting legislation for digital health infrastructure, and drive the adoption of a national strategy that balances innovation with governance.
By embracing change, fostering collaboration among stakeholders, and enforcing digital standards, DigiSanté has the potential to reshape Swiss healthcare for the future.
